About the Role

NSIP Consenting Lead Are you an experienced Director or Associate Director looking to make a significant impact on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP’s)? Our client is seeking a dynamic individual to join their leadership team, focusing on the growth and diversification of their Development Consent Order (DCO), Development of National Significance (DNS) and Section 36 portfolio. Why This Role Stands Out This role offers a unique platform to lead and shape the NSIP offering at a highly-regarded, large-scale and international consultancy. With a focus on sectors such as energy, infrastructure, transport and nuclear, this position is pivotal in driving the strategic growth of the business. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues both domestically and globally, leveraging a wealth of resources and capabilities. Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Leadership: Provide and influence direction and leadership to the NSIP offering.
  • Business Development: Expand and diversify services, set strategic goals, and promote services to new and existing clients.
  • Team Leadership: Inspire and mentor team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
  • Financial Management: Ensure profitable performance through effective financial and cost controls.
  • Thought Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert, providing thought leadership within the industry and represent across wider sector initiatives.

Skills and Experience The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, professional, and enthusiastic, with a proven track record in delivering NSIP consents, to include:

  • Extensive consultancy experience in navigating the consenting processes for NSIP’s.
  • Proven success in winning frameworks and managing major projects.
  • Strong business development and communication skills.
  • Strategic thinking and high financial acumen.
  • Ability to inspire and lead colleagues at all levels.
  • Positive reputation in the sector with a wide stakeholder base.

Qualifications

  • Relevant undergraduate degree in Planning, Environmental Science, or equivalent.
  • Postgraduate qualifications in a relevant subject.
  • Chartered membership of an appropriate professional body such as RTPI.

This role is more than just a job; it’s a chance to shape business at one of the most recognised names in the world of engineering. If you have the energy, insight, and strategic leadership skills required, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
